Most three-dimensional glass objects are produced via either a molding, blowing or 3D-printing process. Chinese scientists, however, have devised a technique of folding such items into shape – and it ...

Plastic is a lot easier to work with than glass, which is one of the reasons it's used so much more often. That may be about to change, though, thanks to a new process that allows glass to be ...

ETH researchers used a 3D printing process to produce complex and highly porous glass objects. The basis for this is a special resin that can be cured with UV light. Producing glass objects using 3D ...

3-D printed glass.. ptwo via Flickr. Three-dimensional printing brought significant and rapid changes to manufacturing, letting companies create customized objects like apparel and plane parts on ...

Using this approach, they created a variety of silica glass objects such as miniature models of a bike and the Eiffel Tower without any pores or cracks. The 3-D printing approach is based on ...

Ancient furnace workers experimented with heating the ends of glass tubes to rework them. One day, someone blew into that ...

Design fans in particular know that big things can often come in small packages. Such was the case with last night’s debut of glass artist John Hogan’s collection, dubbed “Menagerie,” at the San ...

Underwater archaeologists in Burgas, Bulgaria have discovered over 100 glass objects dating back to the days of the Ottoman empire in the nation’s Chengene Skele bay. Previous dives in the area in the ...

Glass, forged by fire, is increasingly becoming a hot topic in fashion—think Coperni’s latest Swipe bags and Pat McGrath’s “glass skin” on the couture runways. Now, in Copenhagen, Annika Zobel Agerled ...

Glass is often thought of as a very stable, unchanging material. That, unless you drop it, it will be around forever. This, however, is far from the truth. Glass undergoes a unique and insidious type ...
